Questions to ponder.
In The Good and Beautiful Community, Jim Smith exposes the false narrative that only certain people can share their faith. He then lists several statements he has heard over the years from people who believe this false narrative (p.45). Which can you identify with (if any)? Could you add any others?
· I am not good at it. I have tried, and I just stammered and stuttered.
· I've seen people witnessing, and I would be embarrassed to try.
· I'm afraid I will offend if I share my faith.
· I would feel like a hypocrite if I shared my faith—I am not a perfect Christian.
· If I bring up my faith, I'm afraid they will reject me.
· I cannot share my faith with others because I am not educated enough.
